Does this mean that python 2.x extension wheels now can and should declare whether they're assuming the 16- or 32-bit Unicode ABI inside the abi field? And if so, should PEP 513 be updated to allow for both options to be used with manylinux1? (Right not manylinux1 just implies/requires a UCS4 build, for older pythons where this matters.) >> >> -n > > > It isn't declared, wheel determines the ABI of the interpreter upon which the wheel is being built and tags it accordingly. So yes, I think a PEP 513 update is appropriate. As to whether the manylinux1 Docker images should include UCS-2 Pythons is a separate question, though. If there's interest, I can provide statistics of how many of Galaxy's UCS-2 Linux eggs were downloaded over time.
My assumption was that we should include the UCS2 option in the docker image so that we could build some wheels so that we could put them on pypi so that we could get some statistics on usage so that we could decide whether it was worth including in the docker image ;-). Anyway, yes, I at least would be interested in seeing these statistics :-) -n
